The Wreck Today

The ship rests in 70 feet of water less than a mile outside the entrance of the Duluth harbor at the Aerial Lift Bridge. The stern of the ship is substantially complete, though a large section of the hull of the midship has been broken apart due to other ships dragging anchors through the wreck. The interior of the ship has survived largely intact, with relatively few artifacts having been removed by divers.

Famous quotes containing the words wreck and/or today:

    “To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite;
    To forgive wrongs darker than Death or Night;
    To defy Power, which seems Omnipotent;
    To love, and bear; to hope, till Hope creates
    From its own wreck the thing it contemplates;
    Neither to change nor falter nor repent;
    This, like thy glory, Titan! is to be
    Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free;
    This is alone Life, Joy, Empire and Victory.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “It is not their brotherly love but the impotence of their brotherly love that keeps the Christians of today from—burning us.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
